Happy Halloween! + My Awesome Costume~




Well.. Hello there!
I bet you're wondering why I'm dressed like a bad anime character. There can be only one reason... I'm out of clean clothes again and this is all that's left!!!!
ORR it might be that ghostly time of year again..
HALLOWEEN!



So this was my costume this year, I bought it from London Drugs when I was looking on a lark. I didn't expect to find something as nice as this!
I was really looking forward to making my own costume like I do every year, however I was very busy and had no time ): My idea was a sexy school girl, with pony tails and lollipops. Ahh well.. next year!




This is the packaging and it states it's a 'Gothic Ballerina' costume. Why is there a LG modeling it?
...



Because it's actually for a little kid.
Age 8 to 10, as a matter of fact.
And what's worse, is that it was actually too big for me and I had to tailor it a little.

Okay you guys can stop laughing now. D:



Included accessories. A tiara, necklace, two strips of ribbon and sleevelets.



The dress in all it's glory. It's quite a head-turner, I got lots of compliments from strangers.
There were spiders attached to the ribbons but I cut them out. Spiders are icky.



Really obvious stitching I added. But from far away it's not that noticeable. Right?!




The bottom of the dress was not poofy enough for me, so I added a layered skirt I already had in my closet for almost twice the volume!






Y'all know it's a special occasion when I bust out the falsies!








I hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween


(:

Fright Night

Yesterday I went out into the pouring rain with the intention to go to Fright night with my friends. I met lily at the lansdowne skytrain station along with selina and her friends devin, kevin, james and arthur. Lily was wearing a playboy bunny outfit for some inexplicable reason. It was alright because I was wearing my nurse costume so we both looked like idiots.

It was raining so hard outside, we kept debating whether to even go to PNE or not. I voted for a movie in Vancouver and see Saw 6 but no one wanted to see a horror movie and be scarred for life.
We waited for Q to come meet us and just stood around, chatting outside a Chinese restaurant. was fun, so many laughs! The employees hated us hanging there and were probably looking for security.

It stopped raining after a bit and then we all took the skytrain downtown. I had NO idea we were even going to playland still. I was almost positive we were watching a movie. I only picked up on it when we were standing outside the Fright Night entrance and then that's when I went 'So we AREN'T watching Saw 6?'

After we paid to go in (fee was $30) we got bag checked. The security dude rummaged through my purse, opening all of the tiny compartments for drugs/booze. If I really wanted to take illegal substances inside, it would have been so easy to hide them in my boots or jacket or something. After that, I got groped by a female guard who was doing body checks.


First ride we went on was Crazy Beach party. normally I do this ride last because it makes me extremely nauseous and dizzy. But it wasn't too bad this time and I didn't feel a need to projectile vomit all over everyone


Pictures from the fright night festival~
80% of these photos had been retouched in the Picasa program. Reason was because every single picture was too dark, even with flash on.


Me prior to going out. Excuse the stupid look on my face.



So shiny!
I just realized! Selina and Q didn't go on a single ride or haunted house!
Talk about a depressing way to waste money.

Q couldn't go on any because his doctor advised him not to.
Hmmm pregnant?


A haunted house with clowns inside! We didn't go in b/c arthur thought it looked lame. ):



There would be actors/employees dressed up as monsters or dead people running around!
So even if you're not going in any haunted houses, you'll still be scared!

In the photograph above, those are clowns running around.
I'm not scared of clowns (what an stupid fear) and told the little one she looked adorable!

The worst was when this woman dressed in scrubs with white powder and blood all over her snuck up behind me and whispered in my ear. I almost lost my shit right there.



Hands in the garbage can. This scared me so much, I don't even know why.



Mental patient stuck to an electrical chair.
Every minute or so it would shake violently and start convulsing.
It's not an actor, just a puppet on a timer.


This was a horror themed restaurant stand. Blood and guts, severed heads and torn limbs.
A little ironic since we were hungry and looking for somewhere to eat.


One of the haunted houses we went inside. The others refused to even come near it so it was just Arthur, James, Kevin and me.
My way to surviving through haunted houses is to yell at all the actors (Hi! You're doing a great job! Wassup!) and cover my face partially with my hand and sing songs (Run this town).

The best way to not be scared is to go first. When I walked past a corner, the photograph behind me slid open and an actor lunged out at my friends. They freaked out but I didn't see what happened.

One horrible part of the haunted house was when we had to push through hanging dead bodies. They were probably made of rubber but the sensation was absolutely disgusting.

But it wasn't too bad actually!

When we got out of the maze, I started getting really paranoid and thought that I was going to be scared again. I screamed when James snuck up on me

Arthur, James and Kevin



This is a graveyard path leading to another haunted house. We had to debate with lily for about 20 mins until she would even THINK about going inside the place.
She didn't even see shit, she buried her face in Q's jacket and then lily said that she was so scared after. Like wtf.. you didn't see anything man!

Once, arthur pushed me towards a statue of a ghost. The 'ghost' then leaped up and started chasing me. =(
I hate it when the actors are just standing there holding knives or axes and staring at you. Creepy as fuck..


An actor standing outside the entrance. He scared me three times.


Hair uber messed, cold and nerves on high alert but still having a good time.


While my friends went on the Pirate ship, Kevin and me watched a theatrical show instead.

There was this guy performing and he took a condom and put it through his nose and then threaded it through the other side. Sooo disgusting! I didn't get what was so funny, I thought it was more gross instead.
Then he took off this pants and only wearing boxers, he put a cinderblock on his balls and then his brother broke it with a sledgehammer.
The things actors do for a laugh from the audience.


The fairground closed at midnight and that's when we left.
We lined up for the bus and chatted. I was freaking out because I had no change for the bus but when it came, everyone just went in through the back so it didn't even matter.
We were supposed to get out waterfront but we missed the stop and had to walk to the nearest skytrain station. No one was checking tickets either there.
We did magic card tricks and palyed big2 on the train.

We got out at lansdowne and we were going to go for 1 am hotpot. But we didn't find any restaurants that we liked so we just ended outside in the cold, chatting.

Arthur called his dad at 2 am to drive the 8 of us home. so nice! I learned that Q only lives down the street from me, how very creepy.
I reached home at 2:30 and fell asleep for 10 hours.

Halloween! + nurse

I don't know about everyone but I simply can't WAIT for halloween.

Every-single-freaking year since I've moved to Canada, I have dressed up every year to go trick or treating. I love the feeling when you put on that costume, pull on your sweaty mask, walk out into the freezing cold and beg for candy from strangers.

And the really sad part is that I save my candy year round (only eating a few a month, except all the chocolates. those are gone before the day is up), because it's so precious to me. How disappointing when my lollypops are disfigured when I peek into my treasure chest a year later.

Every year I would put on a fancy dress and a tiara and call myself a princess. Every single year! Save once in grade 6 when I bought a really horrifying devil mask.

I remember in grade 10, I went as Misa Misa from Death Note. I don't have a picture of that because I was too busy being depressed that no one recognized my costume. Why don't people watch more anime?
It sucked because we were watching Death Note in Japanese class and no one clued in.





And last year I went as a.....
Princess. Wow I sure am creative..


Lawrence was L!!! =DDD


Well this year I'm not going to don the crown and wand anymore.
I'm going to be a....

NURSE!!!!!
But dear god, hopefully not as slutty.

Since I can't be bothered to buy a whore nurse costume, I'm just going to make one myself.
What these pictures are all consistent in is a tight halter tank top, tiny skirt, stockings, heels and of course, the nursing cap. All of this with a red cross sign or striped red.

I've got a white button up, white frilly skirt, boots and stockings I don't mind destroying for halloween. I'll probably look ridiculous. Wait. I'll most DEFINITELY look stupid. It'll look silly without my long hair. Oh well, I don't mind, it's Halloween!



And now some cute/idiotic/awesome costume photos!
